One of these is a refreshed Quick Settings panel, which is expected to become more dynamic and customizable with this future update. Although One UI 8.5 is likely to arrive alongside the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s26-spec-confirmation-q3-2025-earnings-3611552\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Galaxy S26 series<\/a> \u2014 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/one-ui-8-5-beta-reportedly-delayed-3610386\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the beta isn\u2019t coming for the whole of November<\/a> either, plenty of leaks have given us an overview of these design changes.<\/p>\n<p>While a revamped Quick Settings panel has already been spotted in previously leaked builds of One UI 8.5, the latest leak gives us a better look at additional options it could bring. Tipster <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/tarunvats33\/status\/1983778188611481856?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Tarun Vats<\/a> shared a screenshot of the updated panel on X, showing that quick settings tiles for various shortcuts now have a thin outline. This is predominantly visible when the shortcut is disabled.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Yg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"one ui 8.5 updated quick settings\"  alt=\"one ui 8.5 updated quick settings\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/one-ui-8.5-updated-quick-settings.jpg\"\/><img class=\"e_Yg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"one ui 8.5 updated quick settings 2\"  alt=\"one ui 8.5 updated quick settings 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/one-ui-8.5-updated-quick-settings-2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s a subtle touch, the outline also visually separates the tile from the background. Additionally, it should be slightly easier on the eyes, especially when you\u2019re haphazardly searching for the right one.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_ym\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Yg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Yg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While we\u2019re not entirely sure, Samsung also appears to have made the background color slightly less saturated than in previous iterations, further improving visibility. Besides that, the UI now seems to adopt a glass-like aesthetic that might align with Samsung\u2019s other plans for an overhauled interface, seemingly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/one-ui-8-5-leak-system-apps-redesign-3600230\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">inspired by Apple\u2019s latest iOS 26<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Vats also illustrates the option to decouple the volume and brightness sliders, as well as the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi buttons, which is currently not possible in One UI 8. Another feature the One UI 8.5 interface is expected to bring is the ability to resize individual quick settings tiles, similar to a feature added to Android 16.<\/p>\n<p>As we mentioned above, the stable One UI 8.5 build may only arrive alongside the Galaxy S26 series early next year. Although a beta was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/one-ui-8-5-beta-update-coming-soon-3605276\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">previously slated to arrive in November<\/a>, Samsung has reportedly delayed those plans, too. In the weeks leading up to the beta, we might see some changes to the current interface. If \u2014 and when \u2014 that happens, we will be sure to inform you of the changes.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
